The company has requested a hangar and a group of repairmen have traveled to Iceland to work on the plane. The plane was moved from the runway on Tuesday night, ruv.is reports.
The repair is expected to take several weeks and involve the replacement of the engine. The plane was in training with five people on board, one of whom sustained a broken ankle when the plane crash landed.
An investigation into the crash has been launched.
